Since 1969, Mr. Pappajohn has been the President and sole owner of Pappajohn Capital Resources, a venture capital firm, and President and sole owner of Equity Dynamics, Inc., a financial consulting firm, both located in Des Moines, Iowa. He serves as a director on the boards of the following public companies: Cancer Genetics, Inc. a company that provides diagnostic products and services to the cancer market, since November 2009; and CNS Response, Inc., a company which uses EEG-generated biomarkers for use in personalized medicine in psychiatry, since August 2009. Mr. Pappajohn was chosen to serve as a director of the Company because of his unparalleled experience serving as a director of more than 40 public companies and the substantial insight he has gained into the life sciences and healthcare industries by actively investing in these industries for more than 40 years, and by founding and supporting several public healthcare companies.
